Yup, Definite cap of 25 FPS. Strange, My grandad's quad core, 2gb DDR2 RAM (But with worse GFX) Runs AoS Like shite, yet my Dual Core, 1gb Ram, 512mb GFX runs it on 25 FPS with no lag/delay even on turning? :/

Also the people who do not know there is a frame cap for everyone(?).

people that dont notice the difference between 25 fps and 60 fps is because they are the ones that arent having problems

@spartan094 Films are at 24 fps but they seem more fluent than 25fps games because of the transition between frames. If you were to pause a film in an action scene you would see how blurred it is. And I agree partially with you.
But playing at 25 fps has its problems if not blurred as in the films.

We all have great computers. This game can run on your grandmas rig. We all are running it on no less than 25fps. Time for an upgrade folks? Better computer != better gameplay in AoS.

i must say this:
Developer accidently the frame limiter

@spartan094
I have no framerate drops in this game and the cap is still very noticeable and annoying. 25 is definitely not enough.

I'd like to throw this out there.

Film (like cinema film, like the ones you go and pay 15 bucks to watch) is filmed at 24 fps. Dvds, tvs, HD tv, everything is at 29.97 or 30 fps.

What nobody EVER gets is that it's not about frame rate itself, it's about frame rate drops. You could be humming along at 60 fps, and drop to 40 and you'd register, in your mind, a stutter. But play at 25-30 fps at least and steadily and you should never have a problem.

Btw: How bad are you computers to not play this game? I have a 11 year old gateway computer that has no trouble playing this fluidly. Honestly, time for an upgrade folks!

Dear developer: Add an option to crank the settings, they don't go high enough!

> Reduction of 'blur effect'
I second that.. The 'bubble' effect was not a big deal, but now, when turning the camera, everything becomes a cubist painting.

I would appreciate it if the blur effect was reduced in the update, or best case scenario have it configurable. Client.exe has never crashed for me.

I accidentally left the frame limiter at 25 FPS when I was testing some stuff. But relax, it should be fixed for the next release.

Are you contradicting yourself or is that just a badly made post

I still have no idea how people can't tell the difference between 30 and 60fps, and 25 is even more noticeable!

Seriously, I've been looking at all manner of TV and computer screens my whole life to notice the details, and am shocked that people don't think it makes a difference.

EDIT: thx naka, forgot to add "dont" to my post

the whole thing is worded oddly I suppose, just so frustrated, but it'll be fine if its getting fixed in the next update!

this has caused so much buttmad of those whose parents have bought them seemingly decent rigs
>no no fps drop cuz i cant tell the difference xDD

Fraps check, lock at 25...

They haven't checked their FPS and posted it, I wouldn't expect newbies to notice 25fps from 60fps.

What about people that say they haven't experienced The Drop (of fps).

Yeah, since everyone has a framerate cap at 25, and it looks like bandwidth consumption has drastically reduced, people are going to look more jittery.
Motion blur indeed looks like ass, but I'm more concerned about my FPS.

Looks like everyone has their FPS @ 25. I'm just hoping this wasn't on purpose.

I have framerate problems too, I haven't tested but it feels even lower than 25. It always ran perfectly before this version. What's more, things like digging, placing blocks and taking damage seems to lag behind, and the movement of other players is wierd, "inconsistent" is the only way i can describe it. I've never seen any of this before and it happens even when I play on servers with a ping of 20!

The new "motion blur" also looks like ass, by the way

I did run FRAPS test on my shit computer and can confirm that game is capped to 25 FPS, it doesn't really go any lower. It means that AOS doesn't need better hardware to run the recent version. The developer has just set a stupid frame-rate limit.

@bobbyc does not mean you haven't got it.

Do a FRAPS test on FPS and then tell us.

i haven't noticed any fps drop :D

For some reason I wasn't able to reproduce the crappy FPS I had with Vsync on, but I do know that the FPS is capped at 25 (not a good framerate, but still playable).

Drury, you have to think about words before you type them.
Call of Duty, even on consoles has little to no motion blur and very good FPS.

Yeah it needs to be gone because it is like

(you all probably already guess what)

CALL

DUTYYYYYYYYYY...

Yes, somebody said it was a feature of the engine to draw less when turning, causing that effect. I think he bumped it up because of crashes while turning fast? I really don't like it either, I think the game should become more customizable and not force certain effects.

If nobody has higher than 25fps, Demondrago21 and Shadows confirmed for annoying and not knowing what low FPS looks like..

For me, since the update, AoS has gotten jerky and unresponsive to the degree that won't be able to play it anymore until this is resolved.

Another thing related to this: Even when going back to my old res of 1280, the gfx have become extremely blurry when turning. By this I'm not referring to the "bubble" effect. Anyone else get this? It's like the blocks become clearly delineated stripes when turning the camera, it's extremely disorienting. Another reason for not being able to play like this..

Significant FPS decrease confirmed here :c

Have you confirmed this with Fraps?
Vsync is forced off when the game is in Windowed mode, I get the same FPS with a windowed mode hack.

I was able to regain pre-0.45 FPS by forcing off Vsync (NCP/CCC). May (and probably will) not work for you based on your card/monitor.

@Sub_Human, fuck off or post your FPS, with a post like that we can all tell you're some sort of sub.. never mind.

@Loaf
This is either a bug or a retarded decision on Ben's part. I believe it's a huge issue. FPS wasn't capped at 25 in versions 3.x.

I noticed an FPS drop, but it's still plenty.
I don't think it's a huge issue but it throws his claim of AoS running on grandma's computer into doubt.
